The episode begins with a short flashback of Ashley and Illumina but it doesn't take long for it to go back to the events going on between Ashley and Roy. Ashley reveals to Roy, Eunomia and the events that led to the Blast Fall, 12 years ago. Ashley explains that as he was helping to build the underground city the ships carrying colonists stopped coming down to the planet's surface from the Orbitor. Joseph was also there, and refers to Eunomia, which tells them to keep building the city. While Ashley is concerned with Illumina, his wife, on the Orbitor a large pipe breaks and falls on him. He became the first person to undergo Resemble surgery directly from Eunomia, and as a result he stopped aging and created the R.U.C. and has always been the head of it. Once the Aurora Shell was put in place, Ashley tried to send a ship up to the Orbitor to find out what happened, but it got destroyed in the lightning. Twelve years ago, he tried to go into space on his own, after removing all his Resemble parts, but before he could take off a bolt of lightning from the Aurora Shell hit and destroyed the old R.U.C. building causing the Blast Fall. Eunomia saved him again...
